Duan Jing entered the fifth stage and saw Qi Liang stumble over. His body was covered with blood and one of his arms was broken. Duan Ren was shocked, "Qi Liang, what happened to you?"
Qi Liang cried bitterly: "Young master, it's bad, after you entered the ninth gate, we parted ways. But, it's too dangerous inside, Little Phoenix Fairy, Hei Yan and Long'er are all dead, and not even the Shang and Mu Sects are left, only I am the only one who escaped. Young master, you have to be careful, this underground palace is just a trap, it's a huge scam."
Duan Meng's vision turned dark and he fainted. The death of Shang Zong and Mu Zong only caused Duan Ling Tian to feel pity. However, Little Phoenix Fairy, Hei Yan, and Long'er were already like his own family; there was no difference. If they died, how could Duan Jidao not be anxious? Duan Ru Yue instantly felt despair. She pulled out her dagger and was about to commit suicide.
Suddenly, a beam of spiritual light appeared, and Duan Jian became clear-headed.
"That's not right, Qi Liang. Everyone is in a different passageway so they can't talk to each other. How did you know that? Qi Liang, you are talking nonsense. I didn't expect you to lie to me."
"Young master, I really didn't lie to you. The tunnels on your side are separate, but the tunnels on ours are side by side. If you don't believe me, go take a look!"
Wherever he met any trustworthy opponents, he would draw his sword and stab towards Qi Liang. Qi Liang laughed heartily before turning into a cloud of dust and disappearing without a trace.
Duan Jian was completely awake now. "That was close! It was just an illusion!"
Duan Ren looked around and discovered that this was actually an illusion. "No wonder I had this illusion, it's probably because I was too worried about Qi Liang, which is why Little Phoenix Immortal and the others hallucinated. If I didn't wake up in time, I might have committed suicide."
Duan Ru sat down. His eyes, nose, and heart were all clear and bright.
Duan Ru Yue started circulating her spiritual force as she looked into the illusion world. Indeed, there were eight monsters that were dancing in the air.
"Hahaha, challenger, you're very strong. You actually broke through our first illusion. Not bad, but you still have 8 more illusions. Just you wait, hehe."
One of the monsters disappeared, and the remaining eight monsters danced in the air, circling around Duan Ru.
After being in a stalemate for two hours, Duan Ren's heart was as firm as iron and he remained unmoved. The eight monsters finally couldn't hold on any longer.
"We, the challengers, have lost. We are willing to be your soul slaves. Let go of our souls and control us." Duan Meng was overjoyed. He stood up and let go of his soul, spreading it all over the bodies of the eight great monsters. His own soul force was about to capture the monster's soul.
Suddenly, another ray of hope appeared. "The famous Nine Tribulations of the Underground Palace, each one is stronger than the last, how can this one be so easy? "No, this is a trap."
Duan Shu woke up from his dream and protected his soul source. His spiritual force only protected his soul and he only released a sliver of his soul force, trying to control one of the monsters.
With a ripping sound, the enemy's soul was like a raging wave that wanted to capture Duan Lian's soul. If Duan Ru's soul wasn't protected by his own spiritual force, then his own soul would have been controlled by the enemy.
"So dangerous. This illusion world is simply amazing. It's getting more and more dangerous each time."
Duan Meng didn't fall for the trap, so one of the monsters admitted defeat.
"Not bad, Duan Ru, this is our second illusion technique. You actually broke it, not bad, now you only have seven hallucinations left, we can rest now. Once you sit down, don't attack us, we'll be safe and sound."
He himself was also very happy that he had effortlessly defeated two of the illusions, but this time, he had used his Mind's Eye and disappeared into the Diagram.
Duan Meng saw the seven monsters outside of the diagram shoot out seven beams of light towards the location of Duan Ren's disappearance. The area where Duan Meng had disappeared into was turned into nothingness, and a gigantic hole had appeared.
The seven monsters wanted him to sit down, and they were trying to trick him to sit down. They just so happened to be attacking at the right time, but fortunately, he had the [Heavenly Refining] diagram. Otherwise, he would have been blown to smithereens by the seven monsters. It seemed like this illusion world was not only miraculous but also insidious, scheming against him at all times.
Duan Meng saw that there were only six big monsters outside, and he immediately knew that he had broken through an illusion while hiding in the Refinement Sky Diagram. With one less monster missing, Duan Meng no longer dared to look down on him, and he carefully cultivated in the Refinement Sky Diagram for three days before slowly coming out to check on the six big monsters, which had disappeared without a trace.
"Could it be that the illusion world is over?" Duan Ling Tian asked this question, and an aged voice sounded out.
"Duan Meng, you've won. The nine great illusory spirits can't do anything to you at all. You've already passed the test of admitting defeat. Go, get out!"
Duan Meng then looked at the door of the fifth checkpoint, opened it, and walked out.
Just as he reached the door, Duan Jing Tian instantly jumped back and was greatly shocked: "Ah, that was close! How can I believe his lies?! You obviously have six more Illusory Spirits! How can you admit defeat? Yes, this is also an illusion. "
Duan Meng stood in the middle of the world of illusions and loudly said, "Fantasy spirits, come out. I won't be fooled. This is also an illusion." Duan Jidao had just saved ten thousand, but the other four had already lost. Thus, only five would come out.
This time, Duan Ru Yue had looked carefully. It was indeed 5. He couldn't be fooled again.
"Fantasy spirits, do you have anything else to say?"
"You, the challenger, are powerful. I do not understand why your will is so strong. We have seen many challengers in the past, but the most powerful one was actually tricked on the third illusion. Those who die cannot die, but you actually passed the fourth ordeal, how about this, you just need to pass the fifth ordeal, and we won't need to hallucinate anymore, alright? "
Duan Meng's heart was already as firm as iron, so he naturally wouldn't believe their lies. The illusion world clearly had nine great illusions, so it wouldn't end just like that.
"No, if you have the ability, then use it. I don't believe your lies!"
Just as Duan Ling Tian finished speaking, there were only four Phantom Spirits left. It seemed that he had passed another trial.
The four Illusory Spirits looked at each other in dismay, unable to speak. They did not expect that their own hallucination had been seen through by Duan Ru, so they could only surround him and not speak. Duan Meng had set up a barrier. He wanted to hide inside it and cultivate for a few more days. He would only come out when he was completely connected.
After Duan Dong had set up the Ten Thousand Spirit Barrier, he tried it out and found that his barrier was indeed formidable. Even he himself would find it difficult to break through it, unless he used his spiritual force to break it.
Duan Ru Tian entered the barrier and instantly jumped out.
"Too sinister. So the Spirit had already drilled into my consciousness. I have never set up a barrier and this barrier is just a trap." Thanks to Duan Meng's quick understanding, he didn't enter into the trap and disappeared. There were three more, Duan Meng secretly activated his spiritual force and said, "You guys only have one illusion spirit, the other two are fake."
Sure enough, there was only one Mirage Spirit left. This time, Duan Meng had made the right bet. The remaining Fantasy spirit was furious and set off a raging fire to burn Duan Ru, "This is a heavenly fire, I want to see where you can hide!" Duan Meng thought to himself, I have the Heavenly Refining Diagram, what am I afraid of. As long as I enter the Diagram, it will be Heaven Fire and Earth Fire. What can you do to me?
This was what Duan Ru Yue thought, but he didn't enter the Diagram because he knew that the spirit had already controlled itself. If he entered the Diagram, then it would also be a trap.
"Burn it, I don't want to live anymore." Duan Meng stood where he was, unmoving. He let the heavenly fire burn, but he himself was completely fine. The so-called heavenly fire was actually an illusion.
All the spirit beasts vanished and the old voice rang out once more, "Challenger, you have won!"
